What’s the Best Model for My Community?
Factors to Consider
§ Providing Choice - Every community should have a range of housing options promoting choice for supportive housing populations.
§ Factors to consider: ¨ Local housing stock ¨ Quality ¨ Vacancy rates ¨ Availability of existing affordable and SH units ¨ Community support/opposition ¨ Resources ¨ Others?
It is important to remember, a “one size supportive housing model” does not fit all.

Promoting Community Integration Across All Models
Integration Principles
§ Universal Principles that promote successful integration are: ¨ Align development planning and community needs, and incorporate
physical and locational project components promoting integration ¨ Create an environment offering independent living, rights and
responsibilities of tenancy, and access to services and amenities benefiting the SH tenants
¨ Identify and connect with leaders in civic, faith, and business communities to target common project goals and integration strategies
Every Project – All Models – should plan integration strategies.
How do tenants engage and interact within the development?
What resources are available to tenants within the community and how do they access them?
Community Integration
§ Integration impacts project design: ¨ Physical design and project siting ¨ Mixed tenancy/target populations ¨ Mixed income targeting
§ Integration is a strategy for the project: ¨ Engagement in the community – the
project and broader community
Community Integration
§ Units are located in neighborhoods with close proximity to: ¨ Transportation ¨ Employment opportunities ¨ Services ¨ Shopping, recreation and
socialization. § Support tenants
connections to community and access to resources
